A quiet afternoon at Ibiza airport was shattered on Saturday afternoon by the arrival of a giant Royal Air Force transport plane. The C17, one of the biggest cargo aircraft in the world, had flown to Ibiza from RAF Marham in Norfolk with equipment and spares for a stranded F35 stealth aircraft from the Royal Navy aircraft carrier Queen Elizabeth, which is operating in the Mediterranean.

Andy, lighten up. Relax. Chill.
Steve, so proud that our plane broke down?
I understood it was all a plan by the boys to get a bit of shore leave. Well done, guys. Enjoy Ibiza!
Brilliant story, it makes you so proud of the RAF, and the RN too of course, the finest in the world...
